Objective 12: Hypothalamus-pituitary complex hormones and their function

The anatomy and physiology book made this objective easy to comprehend because it seemed like oxytocin and Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) was very easy to locate and understand.  Especially on the table on pg. 531 (below).  What made it easy also to understand and remember was that it is only two hormones.  I remember oxytocin from BIO 100 and I believe from BIO 210 because of positive feedback and that it released in response to uterine stretching.  ADH I had already knew dealt with keeping the body from being dehydrated.  My mother took diuretic drugs for her hypertension so that fluid would not build up in her ankles and such.
